Looks like a bullet mould and a blacksmith awl or scribe.

One of your items is a "bullet mold." Here is a similar one...

Thanks so much!! My father in law thought the same, but it doesnt seem to open... and its maybe 22 size- Here is a rifle butt I found about 10 feet away from the "bullet mold" The inside is a bit odd and home made looking- Ideas what rifle this may have come from? Age etc... I am new to this site, so I am not sure I am doing this correctly..... Thank you again!!

Thanks so much- I am posting an odd rifle butt that was found about 10 feet away, possible the 2 are linked...? Thoughts?

Great Saves on the bullet mould and the butt plate. Congrat's!

Looks very much like some of the Civil War bullet molds.

Could be! Another great find Martyo.

My vote is a bullet mold

Looks small for a bullet mold. Maybe for fishing sinkers?

Small could indicate pistol balls

Thanks so much for the responses. The piece that was possibly identified as blacksmith awl or scribe is really strange if you look close- its very heavy and has cutmarks on the post side, like a spike....? Also the rifle butt has odd pieces inside if you zoom up. Does anyone know why that is.....? If I am not violating any rules, I would like to leave it up a few more days. Thank you all again. This sight is amazing!!
